Dave passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of his family at the home of his parents on Monday, July 4, 2016 in his 53rd year. Cherished son of Carol and Doug Brown. Loving brother of Catherine and Steve (Sue Landry). Nephew of Bart Schinzel (Jeannine) and Lynne Kirkpatrick (Bill). Uncle of Taylor Brown and Great Uncle of Bryson. Dave will be fondly remembered by many cousins, friends and neighbours. Sadly missed by his beloved companion Mach who has been lonely without him. Dave enjoyed life, and completed many things on his bucket list; he loved snowmobiling, and converted a snowmobile to race on pavement. Dave was a long time member of the Snow Road Snowmobile Club. He was a welder by trade and recently completed his AZ license and was living his dream of driving Euclids for Gemmell Sand and Gravel. The family wish to thank the Bayshore nurses; Victoria, Kim and Leah for their tenderness, kindness and appreciation of Dave's sense of humour during his battle with cancer. We will watch for those snowmobile and rider shaped clouds and know that Dave is doing what he loved once again. Bio-cremation has taken place, and a private family interment will follow. Friends are invited to celebrate Dave's life at the Rideau Lakes Township Hall on Sunday, July 17, 2016 starting at 1 o`clock. As expressions of sympathy donations to Wolford Cemetery would be appreciated by the family. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Lannin Funeral Home, Smiths Falls.
